What Is Reiki?
In Japanese rei means the spiritual, or pure, intelligent and complete energy that animates life.

Ki is our personal energy, rei after it has taken on mental, emotional, or physical form. 

Receiving and giving Reiki fosters right relationship between rei, universal energy, and ki, our personal energy.

 Reiki aligns and replenishes us both energetically and physically with the energy
and intelligence that connects all life.

Reiki helps us come into right relationship with our bodies, minds, emotions, and environment.  
​Reiki Treatments
Reiki is given through gentle, noninvasive touch
while you rest comfortably on a massage table.
​
​No disrobing is necessary.

In a treatment, which usually lasts an hour, the
practitioner places his or her hands on a series of
points on your body that relate to the body's biological systems, and that clear and renew your physical, mental and emotional energies.
 
Most people experience the energy that comes through the practitioner’s hands as a deeply relaxing and comforting warmth or a pleasant tingling sensation.  Many people feel
so safe and relaxed that they fall asleep.
Benefits of a Reiki Treatment
Reiki can help alleviate pain, relax muscles, accelerate healing of injuries and illnesses, relieve chronic conditions —  ranging from arthritis and fibromyalgia to back, neck and spine pain — and support recovery from chemotherapy treatment (including reduction of side effects).
Reiki helps release the blocks, conflicts, and traumas that divide heart from mind, increasing clarity and peace.
Reiki takes us deep within to the source of all life, bringing us into balance, leaving us renewed by the unseen power that animates all things.

Sessions are a hour and are offered on a free will donation basis. 

Anyone Can Learn Reiki

Level I Reiki
The first level of Reiki training includes a series of four initiations that clear and seal open energy pathways in the body.  This introductory class is built around detailed, hands-on practice, preparing you to use Reiki for yourself and in service to others.  After the initiations, healing energy will flow through your hands effortlessly.  Learning Reiki empowers you to give this gentle, yet powerful gift to yourself and to others. Time is allotted in the class to allow students to become comfortable and confident in their relationship to the practice of Reiki.  The concentrated exchange of Reiki with others in the course offers a powerful experience of deepening into relaxation and healing. The fee for Level One is $150. ​​
Level II Reiki
Is offered to students who have completed Level I. It features the teaching of, and practice with, symbols for sending distant Reiki treatments, giving treatments that focus on mental healing, and intensification of the energy. The Level II course deepens students' relationship with Reiki, with their own healing, and with their practice of Reiki in giving to others. During class students engage in Reiki as a healing practice, and as a practice of personal growth and spiritual development. The course is offered in a 2 1/2 day retreat format,. During that time we are intensively immersed in the energy of Reiki and nourished on every level.
